    Report: 182 days of full time overland travel using only solar power

    What’s the typical electrical load look like for only using 500wh a day? Based on the camper I’m guessing mostly small electronics, roof vent fan and furnace, maybe a fridge and some water pump use?

    Ford CEO Promises A New Affordable ICE Pickup Truck Coming (if you're patient)

    Definitely, the old trucks felt way roomier. If you remember those doors used to be maybe 2” thick, now some of these have formed sheet metal 3-4” thick plus the padded armrests and hand grabs, etc.

    Ford CEO Promises A New Affordable ICE Pickup Truck Coming (if you're patient)

    Today’s midsize trucks are as big as 1970s full size 1 ton trucks. Cars shrank and trucks grew huge.

    Honesty time, are they worth it?

    That too? Or a Land Cruiser pickup too.

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    The aftermarket has figured it out and it’s tucked away hidden like the factory winch on a hemi. Downside is it’s a 12k winch so you really need a snatch block for serious self recovery with a heavy truck.

    Got the tail wheel endorsement knocked out finally. A month of brutal cold really slowed things down.

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    I don’t know if disconnecting swaybars and a locker are high on the list of things people look for in a heavy duty diesel that isn’t really suitable off-road. I’m sure they will sell and I’m sure most won’t see forest service roads any rougher than a Subaru could handle.

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    So it’s a Rebel 2500 with new stickers? Seems like without the soft suspension for off-road articulation and a winch it’s not really a power wagon.

    Honesty time, are they worth it?

    All I’ve seen from Hyundai is the warranty transfers to subsequent owners as a 5yr/60k mile warranty instead of the 10yr/100k. Shady dealers registering cars to make sales goals is different than the manufacturer voiding warranties, it just happens that this reduction in coverage is written into...

    Americans Just Spent $15 Billion On Buying New Pickups In One Single Month

    I don’t see what’s hard to understand. Pay all your usual monthly bills (groceries, utilities, shopping, etc) with a credit card, just like you would with a debit card, cash or even a check in years past. Everything but my mortgage is run through a credit card.
